Dear William Raveis Family, Collaboration goes we

Dear William Raveis Family,

Collaboration goes well beyond local connections. Two weeks ago, I attended a meeting in Sarasota, Fla. of The Realty Alliance, a network of elite real estate firms. As a founding member, I am long-time friends with principals of major companies across the United States. We have been sharing ideas and insights on the marketplace and our industry for more than thirty years.

At William Raveis, our sales associates thrive on a culture of collaboration and partnership. "Collaboration is one of the many keys to a successful business," says Lisa Theiss.

In New York City, we have sales associates posting and promoting each other's Raveis listings. This is unique according to Kathy Braddock. Our team genuinely cares for and helps one another succeed. Here are two examples. Broadway star Stephanie Harnisch, and Denae Montesi were neighbors and friends long before they became business partners and Top 25 agents. Rebecca and Philippe Doh met at our Raveis Convention in 2018 and now help clients throughout NYC, Dutchess County, and Litchfield, Conn. Both mention the importance of having a close-knit group and support from like-minded agents.

We have learned from our popular agent panels and networking events that agents love sharing ideas, tools, and business practices. When masterminds collaborate, that is when the magic happens - just ask anyone who has attended Christa's strategy session over the past few months!

On May 10, more than 60 agents from Armonk, Chappaqua and Katonah came out for Lisa Carpenter's refresher on, "All Things Marketing" to help them differentiate and secure listings. Kim Givens discussed how to build referral business, including, 1. Your branded Raveis.com website for direct inquiries and customer leads and 2. Generating passive income with LeadingRE. The average referral fee in 2022 was $2,900 - that's a terrific ROI!

Last, Jamie Zdru talked about cultivating luxury experiences for clients, and our global connections to help win listings. Following the event, Jamie received five luxury proposal requests, $18.5M in combined value, thanks to our wonderful agents!

Go team!
With gratitude,
Bill

Dear William Raveis Family, Our northern regions

Dear William Raveis Family,

Our northern regions continue to gather with world-class coaches and top producers to discuss the market. On April 5, we hosted an Agent Panel & Breakfast Meeting for our Guilford, Branford, and Madison offices. Chris Raveis moderated, and thanks to our panelists, Rose Ciardiello, Jennifer Gurnell, Jessica Kimball, and Katie Hainsworth Westrin, we had a lively debate along with a Q&A on getting listings, full commissions, and networking.

In Middletown and Cheshire, Uniel Critchley, Santo Gulino, Debbie Huscher, and Iris Meyer shared their views on "How to Win Listings" with fellow agents and moderators, Katie Totten, and Chris. Last week, Greenwich and Stamford combined forces to talk about buyer agency, fiduciary responsibilities, and inventory. Dave Wilk gave three examples of agent success: Jakob Satir signed a listing and made a sale from floor time; Maria Ruggeberg sent SOI social posts and listed a $440K condominium, and Cal Darula averages 2-3 listings a year from his direct mail campaign. Going back to basics, in combination with our proven marketing programs, generates revenue - it's a fact.

Dozens of agents attended Mia Capella and Michael Dean's Collaboration & Networking event last month. Mia says, "There is a feeling of mutual respect and high energy whenever agents, SVPs, and managers from other Raveis offices meet." Coming Friday, May 19, agents from Darien, Norwalk, Rowayton, Westport and Wilton will gather again for, "How to Stay Top of Mind in a Down Market" with Chris and panelists, Stacy Book, Meghan Gatt, Joe Balestriere, Sarah Fair, and Michelle Genovesi - don't miss it.

Recently, I called Jenny Schaffer, a longtime Guilford agent, to congratulate her on a record-breaking sale. Representing the buyer, the $5M waterfront property is the highest selling price for New Haven County YTD. Jenny faced tough competition up and down the Connecticut and Long Island shoreline and yet persisted in finding the perfect home for her clients.

William Raveis has #1 Market Share across our regions, thanks to all of you!

Go team!

With gratitude,
Bill
